Singapore is the only Southeast Asian stop of the pop superstar’s The Eras tour. Swift will play six shows at the National Stadium on March 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 9 next year.

The only other country in Asia where she will perform is Japan. That disappointed her millions of Asian fans, who lined up to buy tickets for Eras’ tour dates.

Agoda said searches for Singapore and other accommodations have surged since Swift made her travel itinerary in Singapore public.

If lucky enough to get tickets, Filipino fans top the list of people looking for a place to stay, followed by Swifties from Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Likewise, demand for accommodation in Singapore next January coincides with Coldplay’s show dates. The British band has planned concerts at the National Stadium on 23, 24, 26, 27, 30 and 31 January 2024.

According to Agoda, based on user data from June 18 to 20, searches on those dates increased 8.7 times compared to the previous week.

For Coldplay, however, Indonesians had the most searches, followed by people from Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, the United States, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, China and Australia.

business times According to a report on June 30, before and after Swift’s concert in Singapore, hotel prices have increased, and some three-star and four-star hotels have increased prices by more than 20%.

Earlier this month, Swifties showed how aggressive they were in finding ways to see a concert, including as a date for UOB cardholders. /TISG
